Comments on "On the Street......Fifth Ave., NYC"
Look how clean the sidewalk is!
I have been browsing this blog for a while but am more interested in what is behind the subjects than the subjects themselves.
Top firmly planted in January.
Bottom firmly planted in May.
i remember seeing the vest over suit/blazer thing two years ago on your blog...this is very utilitarian chic in my book, and doesn't need to be limited to guys. i wonder when the look started?
I'll provide the dialog:
Hi, I'm not from around here, and I was wondering if you could give me directions to my socks.
divine shoes!
excellent. love the layers, and love the bare ankles hinting at the spring season on the way.
I love this look -- it's very masculine and would work great on a bike. I think that regular men would actually give this a try, and it is so very sexy!
Everything together at the same time now.
Did you tell him his snaps were askew?
i love his shoes!
Snazzy. I like it.
Even before i read The Clever Pup's comment i thought 'head in Nova Scotia, feet in Nassau'. i'd love to know what he was thinking when he got dressed and i love that it clearly wasn't what most other people on Fifth Ave were thinking...
Hot.
This look is simply amazing, I love it!

I like looks that effectively pull off the "too short" look, but this one goes a little overboard for me. Though I like his use of color (especially the scarf), everything from his pants to his coat up to the outer vest is too much "doesn't fit" look for me.
I am now fairly firm in my aesthetic estimation that the Alden lace-ups suedes and Chukkas are best with jeans and I don't wear jeans. This photo is an affirmation of that position.
i like this look for a very casual day out, possibly museum hopping a lunch a friend's house
the bare ankles get me to imagine the layers coming off... hat, scarf, vest and going into a backpack and there you have a lovely outfit
I like the outfit - especially the splotches of color - workshirt blue, yellow and greens of the scarf, buff boots, with the darker earth tones. Personally, I like socks.
I agree -- tartanscot
Love the layering. Practical and stylish!!
The ankles look a bit funny to me, but somehow fit in with the understated individuality of the look!!
I don't mean to pick on this man...it is purely because he is the last one I saw with the trousers rolled up. I am getting a bit tired of the look.
It is no longer original. I much prefer style over trend.
( the rest of his outfit is great )
Two consecutive photos from the same street at the same time, obviously a good day! Great look!
i love new yorkers!
Perfect!
yeah, I love the length of the pant, and I like his shoes. Of course the layers are great!
I know you like the mixing and colors and all, but for me, no, no, no.
An American attempt at European style. Looks forced.
Bucks! It reminds me of prep school in the late eighties, Dead Poet's Society era. Sigh.
I'd be happier if he'd tuck in his shirt. Untucked shirts under blazers almost always read to me either awkward, studied, too fashiony or all of the above. And, although I think he does it well, I do wonder if his ankles don't get cold, assuming it's cold enough to warrant the vest over blazer thing.
beautiful
I think his pants are amazing! I've been looking for something like those for ages!
nice pose! I want his shoes.
ohh those shoes are totally great!
the rolled up jeans fits him great and goes along very well with this outfit but he needs socks, it's looks poor
Ankle cleavage when you're wearing a down vest, scarf and beanie is like wearing sunglasses indoors.
No.
From the shins up though, top marks!
I also would personally not go for chambray in winter.
As Sarah Jessica Parker once said ''I don't judge others, I say if you feel good with what you're doing, let your freak flag fly''...
Saw this guy yesterday when I was sent the J. Crew catalog in the mail. Nice look but a bit too contrived for my taste.
I like sockless men
Agreed. I like this look aside from the missing socks. Dress shoes/oxfords with no socks always look naked to me. I'm a fan of the rolled up pants. It's sort of biker-chic. I think most guys are capable of pulling of a masculine capri.
The gal looks fantastic, but I must admit the gent makes me a tad nervous.
i really enjoy all of the individual elements of what he is wearing...somehow they don't all come together very well from where i am sitting. he looks rather pear-shaped, unfortunately.
A button down, blazer and jacket...hmmm...I think if the pants were longer the outfit would look better.
the look is so great, love the powerful mix, the trendy shoes and the mood.
Showing his ankles while wearing a scarf makes it just plain interesting.
Love it!
Can I have your number ?
He ! it's Derek !
He's a belgian student, living in NY.
I like this style particulary the shoes
He's studying at Parsons!! I have class with him!
Those shoes were all the rage when I was in prep school in the early nineties. He rocks them. I don't ever want to wear them again...
I know Derek! That's an Engineered Garments Blazer & Vest
I guess it's still cold in NY huh? Can't be caught dead wearing what he's wearing in LA haha
The shoes. They're what do it.
Love the contrast the shoes give. They make the look interesting.
i reckon his ankles would be freezing!
although, admittedly, looks great
looks like something from an engineered garments lookbook (not a bad thing)
I am sorry....but this guy needs some socks. He should get a pair of marled wool cottons THEN call it a complete outfit. He looks like he forgot something.
ralph lauren in coolest
Info on the shoes please!
Been lookin for a pair of those for ages!
spring weather is a hard one to call.
a great example. with a gap in his wardrobe (closet).
for all those keen to throw off their socks - check a light merino, they're just what you need.
pantherella are a good source.
I saw this and thought, sh*t, I haven't been to NYC in weeks. Ha! This look is great, love the short vest transposed onto his funky town sportcoat. Shoes w/ short dark hemmed jean is what is anchoring it - nice job.
he looks so much like a friend of mine!!haven't seen him in a long time, but i'm pretty sure it isn't him as he doesn't dress like this..and besides he lives in Amsterdam..but funny nonetheless..
Burrr cold ankles. Bare ankles should be reserved for weather than doesn't require a wool jacket and a down
vest!
Derek!!! K-Far!!!
Weee looooovveeee you!!!!
Cast away from Belgium!
The derek-fan club!
His lack of socks makes the outfit
top of the list!
This fellow wandered straight out of the Pacific Northwest! Or at least the top 90% of him did. (The shoes wandered out of J. Crew?)
If you love this look Olympia, Washington is the place for you.
he looks confused and conflicted
where i can buy this shoes?
Your piece about your father resonated in many ways and was a very sweet simple tribute. My daughter is visiting her travel love in Melbourne, and they are traveling to Sydney as part of their walkabout, so I told them to be nice when you photograph them on the street...
I love those shoes -- such a great color!!! Anyone know where I can get them?? And I love the raw/rinsed denim with them...
4 layers up top, no socks, sorry, as hip as you are, this just makes no sense to me.
I believe the shoes are rachel comey..terribly close to alden
I really need some information on the shoes, I've been looking for a pair of shoes like that for 2 years. Please some information. Kasper.
C'mon, it's cold enough for that many layers but your ankles are exposed. At what point do you stop looking stylish and more like an idiot?
